Sway Bar Bushings?

My car has been having trouble with grooves in the road and wanting to follow them all the time. I have replaced every bushing up front except for the sway bar bushings. The car has perfect alignment, good tires, etc... Any idea if this could help the problem? What diameter are the factory sway bars? Thanks in advance.

Moving out of the Classifieds, and over to a forum where we ask questions...

Ryan, you know better than that. :P

Are you sure it's a swaybar/bushings problem? I ask because when I was looking to upgrade my wheels and tires I ran across an awful lot of information about different tires. Some tires are more prone to follow the grooves in a road... at least that's been what I've read on tirerack.com and other sites. I know that my new tires do it more than my old set ever did... and that's with a perfectly aligned front and rear.

Later,
Mark

i only thought it could be that because they are a little on the worn side. 6 years of AZ summers takes its toll on rubber bushings. I will have to look into the tire thing though.

My car wanders in the grooves at times too, especially the ones on US60 out East around Greenfield-Power Rd. I think it's just the tires as it didn't do it with the same alignment settings and everything before. What tires are you running?
